YOUNG BRIDE
JUMPED IN THE
WILLAMETTE
Rescued by Frank Ackersen
a Longshoreman.
HER IDENTITY A MYSTERY
Rescuer Paid Not to Divulge Her Name
or Address She and Her Hus
Husbaad Came From the East
Nothing More known.
Portland, Sept. 1. The Evening Tel
egram has the following:
Splash!
And a woman went over the Couch
6 tree t dock at 8 ;45 laet night.
An instant later Frank Ackersen, a
longshoreman, was in the river, hold
ing the woman's head above the water,
and she struggling violently to free her
self from his grasp.
Ackersen succeeded in saving the
woman without assistance, as he bad
bat a few yards to swim. As he was
about to request another man to ring up
the central station, a drag, containing a
man and woman, drove rapidly to the'
e pot.
"Ia there a woman in the river?" in
quired the driver excitedly.
"There has been, but I got her out,"
replied Ackersen.
"So you would disgrace us, you hor
rible girl !" replied the driver as he got
a glimpse of the shivering form of the
would-be Belf-murderer.
"John, do not come near me," shriek
ed the young woman, "1 am weary of
all this."
Bat "John" denied her request, and
he,with Ackersen's assistance, placed her
in the drag and the party drove off.
Ackersen, who is well-known as a
temperate and reliable man, refuses to
divulge the location of the residence of
the dramatis personae of this drama;
but he in a spirit of much delight thiB
morning related that he received fifty
dollars for his trouble and promised to
keey a Bilent tongue.
At police court, however, the fact was
learned this afternoon that " while the
drag belonged to a prominent family
here, the would-be suicide and the man,
who was her husband, are strangers.
They are on the coast spending a most
singular honeymoon, judging from the
night's events.
While the names of this couple are
known to several members of the police
department, they decline to divulge
them for publication. It is aaid that
the couple has been married six months
eince which time the bride has devel
oped dangerous signs of euicidal mania.
Thia ia the third time she has attempt
ed to take her life since they came
West.
They are domiciled with friends on
Nob Hill, bat beyond that nothing
could be ascertained respecting their
identity.
BURNED IN
KOBE HARBOR
American Ship Baring Brothers" De
stroyed With Three Thousand Tons
of Matting.
Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 1. The
steamer Empress of China brings the
following Oriental advices :
The American ship Baring Brothers,
from New York, was burned in the har
Dor ot ivooe, August lUth. It is inti
mated that the fire was of incendary or
lgin. When the vessel arrived at Kobe
from Yokohama six of her crew were in
irons. Four were soon afterward liber
ated. .The United States consul at Shanghai
is inquiring into the most recent anti
foreign outrage. Messrs. Chapin and
and Alexander, of the international al
liance mission, while on their way up
the Yuen river with their houseboat,
were stoned at Hongkiang, Iluan. The
boat was emashed and then burned by
the mob. The two travelers barely es
caped with their lives on a Chinese gun
boat. The officials did nothing to pro
tect them.
At Hong Kong they say there is grave
reason to fear that the steam launch
Wingafoo, which flies the American flag
and which left on July 2d for Cavite,
has foundered.
The Corean government has estab
lished a land survey office, with a view
to surveying the land in the empire and
examining the position of the roade,
bridges and fortifications. A contract
has been signed between the United
States minister and the Corf an govern
ment to engage an American engineer
for carrying out the work.
It is stated that the Corean govern
ment will grant Japan a railroad char
ter between Seoul and Fusan, if the Jap
anese government will surrender a num
ber of Corean refugees who are now in
that country.
The annexation fever has epred to
Japan, which recently raised the flag of
the "rising sun" over a small island
south of Japan. The island is said to
have been discovered by an American
captain and marked on the chart as
Marcus island. A small colony has been
sent to cultivate the island.
The indemnity paid by the Hawaiian
government has been received, and its
disposal will be shortly decided on. Af
ter claims of compensation by the emi
gration companies have been paid, the
balance wilt be appropriated to defray
the expenses incurred by the govern
ment in the matter.
The Japanese legations at London and
at Washington will be raised to the rank
of embassies.
HAWAIIAN PORTS
AS USUAL
Will Be Open For the Entry of Foreign
Vessels Pending a Revision of the
United States Laws.
San Francisco, Sept. 1. T. H. Good
man, of the Southern Pacific Company,
is in receipt of a ruling from the treas
ury department on thequestion of wheth
er or not foreign vessels will be allowed
a clearance for any port or ports in Ha
waii and to enter and land their cargos
at said ports, now that the islands are
American territory.
The Southern Pacific Company is in
terested in the matter to the extent of
its interest in the Occidental & Oriental
Steamship Company, which is operating
the steamers Gaelic, Doric, Coptic and
Belgic, between here and the Orient by
way of Honolulu. All are chartered
British vessels, and under the treasury
regulations cannot engage in a coasting
business between American ports.
The ruling of the treasury department
settles this question. The company will
be allowed to continue running its ves
sels between here and Honolulu nntil
new laws for the islands are enacted by
congress.
A PEACE DEADLOCK.
Spain Has Not Yet Appointed
Commissioners.
Her
Madrid, Sept. 1. The deadlock over
the appointment of the members of the
peace commission continues.
The cabinet sat this evening in concert,
the queen regent presiding. Senor Sa
gasta, the premier, made a statement as
to foreign policy, referring particularly
to the disarmament proclamation of
Emperor Nicholas. Lietenant-Generai
Correa, minister of war, read a dispatch
from General Bios, acting governor-
gereral of the Spanish territory in the
Philippine ielands, announcing that he
bad acceded to Admiral Dewey's re-
request to open Philippine ports.subject
to ratification by the Madrid govern
ment. Senor Sagasta, according to El Heraldo
is trying to persuade the Duke of Tetuan
now leader of the dissident conaerva
tives, to join the peace commission. "

f HULL BALK THE SERVICE
General Shafter Arrives at Camp Wi
toff, But Has Not Taken Charge
The President Will Make In
vestigations. Washington, Sept. 1. Ssrgeon-Gen-eral
Sternberg today sent the following
letter to a New York medical publica
tion which had made inquiries ot bim
conoerning the conduct of the war with
reference to the medical department,
and especially about the subject of hav
ing an immediate investigation of his
bureau. He says :
"I am ready at any moment for a com
plete investigation with reference to my
administration of the affairs of the med
ical department, but the war depart
ment is not disposed to make such an
investigation as the result of eensational
newspaper articles. There is at present
an evident craze to criticise, without re
gard for truth or justice. I have no
doubt there will be a congressional in
vestigation into the conduct of the war,
but I do not feel at liberty at present to
insist upon an investigation for my own
vindication, because it is contrary to the
general interests of the service. It
would be wrong for me to give up all the
important official work which at pres
ent almost overwhelms me, for the pur
poseof devoting myself to a presenta
tion of the iacts relating to my admin
istration. "It would make it necessary to take
clerks away from their daily tasks in or
der to look up the documentary evidence
on file in my office, and in the meantime
import matters would neccessarily be
neglected and the sick in all parts of
the country would suffer. It would
make it necessary to call upon the med
ical officers, who are now urgently need
ed for the care ot the sick in the various
camps and hospitals, to come to Wash
ington as witnesses, and all this to sat
isfy the clamor of irresponsible newspa
per reporters. There has been no offi
cial campaign with reference to
an ad-depart-
ministration of the medical
ment."
EIGHT LIVES
WERE LOST.
Damage Wrought by the Georgia Storm
More Serious Than First
Reported.
Savannah, Sept. 1. It has just been
reported that Lieutenant Morgan, of the
United States engineer corps, was

and Morgan, with hia men, was drowned.
Lieutenant Morgan was a Georgian.
The second mate, Garibaldi, of the
Italian bark Noe, also lost hia life while
trying to. rech shore from his vessel
during the storm.
Trains are delayed by washouts, and
traffic cannot be resumed until tomor
row. Nearly all the tents and clothing
of the garrison here were blown into the
ocean. All the records were lost, and
considerable confusion will result when
payday comes or muster-out is ordered.
